Lewdaism

Lewdaism is a religion that was founded by Desertfalcon after the life, death, and resurrection of the Messiah, whose name is Lewis. This belief has now spread to include all those named Lewis in one regard or another, but is centered around the enigmatic and mysterious man known only as Lewis.

Beginnings of Lewis

The origins of the mysterious entity known as Lewis have been difficult to document, given the assumed humble beginnings of the soon-to-be savior. In fact, the first records we have of Lewis account that he was already working for the CIA. During his life, Lewis made several things clear; to be outlined in the "Teachings of Lewis" section, while he was running for public office; first for President, and then, after his resurrection, congressman and Party President. After several months of life, Lewis mysteriously died. Those who were close to him (another way to say "disciples") were devastated and confused. However, on the third day of his mysterious death, Lewis sprang back to life, first appearing to a few of those who knew him by commenting on a small newspaper. Soon, the whole world knew that Lewis had been resurrected from the dead, leading many to believe that he was the Risen Messiah of eRepublik.

The birth of Lewisism (which soon evolved into Lewdaism) sprang forth from those who listened to the words and teachings of Lewis. Lewis never claimed to be the Messiah, but his followers began to believe more and more, by the cryptic messages he would speak, which have now been lost to all but oral retelling. Lewis had a wit and charm about him that was unrivaled in the known world, and this drew many followers to him. When he died, his disciples were at a loss, as the majority of Lewis's teachings disappeared with him. However, after Lewis's resurrection, several devout followers (High Priest Desertfalcon, the Apostle Emerick, and the Holy Prophet Geno Garon) set to the task of chronicling the life of Lewis, so that it would never be lost again.

Continued Works of Lewis

After his resurrection, Lewis began a monthly joining of powerful people, and invited many leaders in the United States of America. Many of his followers believe this to be the formation of his church, to gather the leaders of the largest nation in the world together to begin his ministry to the world. Followers of Lewdaism have also begun writing works that portray the full works and views of Lewis. The Book of Lewis was in progress by High Priest Desertfalcon until he left the position to pursue a political career. Emerick is said to be writing the biography of Lewis, but it is unknown when either book will be completed. At the time of this edit; Geno Garon has stepped up and proclaimed himself the new Holy Prophet of Lewdaism.

After the Messiah ascended to the Greater Place, telling His followers to remain and not to mourn him, it was reported that someone was charading around, pretending to be the Messiah. The Holy Prophet Geno Garon is investigating these allegations, and shall punish any fraudulent "Anti-Lewis" with divine might.

Teachings of Lewis

The major tenets of Lewdaism are as follows:

Lewis is the risen savior.

Lewis has given us examples on how to live.

We must follow the example of Lewis:

We must always jump to conclusions when we do not have enough information.

We must call "Idiot" those who do not agree with us.

When threatened, we must state that the nation's highest authorities will apprehend those that threaten us.

We must always erase those things which we find harm us. If we cannot, we demand of those who wrote them that they be erased.

Importance of Lewis

Michigan has been sited as the first state to recognize Lewdaism, and went one step further to proclaim Lewdaism its own state religion.

“ "I officially declare Lewdaism the official religion of the state of Michigan"”

Lewdaism has roots in the United States of America, where Lewis is believed to have been born, and where most of Lewis's teachings were first received by his disciples. Though Lewdaism has seen small pockets of believers in such places as the United Kingdom, Sweden, and Japan, the bulk of Lewdaite worshipers remains in the US. It is estimated that anywhere from 50 to 100 individuals have a saving knowledge of Lewis and His teachings, while many more have some knowledge, but have yet to receive the full revelation.
